fish Identification

[Reeffuzz]

I got this fish from a neibor that moved to Florida. I looked in a fish index and the closest fish I could find was a Mexican blenny. Any help would be appreciated. sorry for photo size.

Thanks,
Kyle

looks just like my dogfish that i have. not to sure of the offical name but there pretty easy to care for and are a local fish to Florida. looks fairly small from the pic but good luck with it.

they are blennies, I forget their exact name, but they are very common along the Gulf Coast. they top out around 3 inches and will eat mostly anything. fairly passive towards other fish. If you want more shoot me a pm, i catch them all the time

its a blenny
family paraclimus, they eat small meaty foods, stay small and pretty much hide most of the time
